Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes Haiku: "Yay, no marshmallows! Savory sweet potatoes, glad that I found you!" Super easy recipe and delicious; I left mine in longer, stirring frequently enough that the sweet potatoes browned evenly, but my onions were a little burnt and shrivel-y, which is my bad b/c I didn't cut them into wedges, as directed. I did follow the recipe, other than apparently being a little too dainty w/ my onion cuts. Wow, these were terrific, and how nice that they weren't bathed in brown sugar or some other sticky sweetness. I squashed some of the leftovers (sans onions) for the baby, and she said "gurgle blurgle /smile" as she devoured hers too.

I omitted the balsamic vinegar (husband hates it) but kept everything else the same. It was DELICIOUS and easy to make. I like that it is a savory sweet potato recipe with few ingredients. It's definitely on our favorites list!

Didn't even peel the taters and it turned out so yummy! I would've posted a picture but... all that's left is a blob of olive oil. Caticalic, tell your Granny she's a genius :) Husband says these are the best sweet potatoes he's ever tasted!

Wonderful way to cook sweet potatoes, not sure why people want to sweeten them up with brown sugar and marshmallows, that's just not appealing to me, they have such a nice sweet flavor on their own. I like this savory rather than sweet recipe. Although I didn't have a vidalia onion, I used a regular yellow onion and it worked just fine, got kind of caramelized after baking for 45 minutes. These go great with pork chops.

Excellent! I made a few changes making this for Christmas dinner: I used 4 potatoes and did not measure how many cups. I used white balsamic vinegar because I didn't have any regular. I slicedabout 1/2 C fresh cranberries in half and added them. Also added about a half cup of chopped pecans. It was delicious & was a nice substitute for sweet potato pie.

We were in a bit of a hurry so I put the potatoes and onion in a microwave safe container with a bit of water and covered for 10 minutes. Then we mixed in the olive oil and garlic and spread potatoes on a cookie sheet and sprinkled with Mrs. Dash. We then baked for 15 minutes. I was AMAZING!!!!!

Really good ! Only addition I made to the recipe was to add a little thyme to it. My wife couldnt believe there was no honey, syrup or sugar added, the sweetness was all natural and healthy ingredients :) I broiled it for 2-3 minutes at the end just to caramelize the sweet potatoes a little and get a nice crisp on them Will make this again for sure!

I made this according to the recipe. It was very good but I have a tweak in mind that I'll try the next time I make it. Next time I'll use a little more oil than the recipe calls for and salt/pepper before I put the potatoes in the oven. It's a good, easy dish though, and will definitely be making it again and again and again.

This was a real nice change from my usual mashed sweet potatoes. The sweet onion combined with the sweet potatoes was really good. I made it on a hot day, so I put the ingredients in foil and cooked it on the grill, about 35 minutes.

These sweet potatoes are YU-MMY! Mine were a little burnt at 35 minutes but I missed the direction to turn them frequently! BE SURE TO TURN THEM! (Unless you like crispy-burnt on one side) I crushed the garlic and added it after the oil so it dispersed throughout and added salt and pepper both before and after cooking. The balsamic vinegar after cooking takes them over the edge! I will definitely be making these again.

I tossed the potatoes and onions in a large gallon zipper bag with the EVOO to make sure everything was coated well. Love this recipe!

Simply delicious! Although I don't like it when someone changes a recipe...... I did add garlic Rosemary seasoning after making it as written 2 times. We did like it much better with the change. My wife says its like eating real potatoes not sweet potatoes.

Loved this, hadn't really made sweet potatoes before but will again.

It was tasty, but way to oily. I plan to do it again, but half the oil.

Easy and extremely flavorful. I could make a whole meal of this. I made it exactly as directed.

Yummy and easy! No changes needed!

I was skeptical going in, but HOLY this was good! I am 50 years old and I have never EVER known sweet potatoes in ANY form without cinnamon and/or sugar. Even when I have sweet potato fries I dip them in something sweet. So imagine my surprise about this dish! Love it! Oh, one thing; I did not use the vinegar. When I took them out of the oven I started eating them and did not make it to the vinegar! Also, I left the skin on.

So yummy! I fact I had an encore performance the next night.

This is a year round option for a healthy dish! I had grown tired of the standard annual sweet potato casserole style dish. This was a refreshing change! The sweet onion created a perfect balance with the vinegar. Awesome!!

Yum yum, love the roasted sweet potatoe with the roasted onion, drizzled with olive oil is perfdct and the addition of the Balsamic vinegar really brought out the flavor. On the menu!

I had some sweet potatoes left from another meal and wanted to use them. I found this recipe, and had all ingredients on hand, so I made it. The house smelled wonderful while cooking. My 11 year old grandson was drawn by the aroma, and hung around to try some. It tasted great, I will make again!

Stuck to the recipe except for adding in some parsnips. This paired wonderful with Lemon-Rosemary Roasted Chicken.

I don't usually write reviews, but this recipe is amazing! I had a couple sweet potatoes left over, and I just used a regular onion, but the sweet and savory flavors go together SO well! I don't often cook with sweet potatoes, but I'll be making this more often.

This is one of my favorite vegetable recipes! Easy, cheap, healthy and verydelicious! I am a home ec teacher who teaches culinary all day in a middle school school & still loves cooking @ home to relax. :) I have made this at least 5x already!

This combination of Sweet potatoes, onions and drizzle of balsamic was spot on. I highly recommend this recipe. We plan on adding this in the rotation of side dishes. It is worthy of making for company.

Made this for company last night. Only comment is that they wanted more to eat. Everyone loved it and today my husband is asking for it again.

We loved them. Made them per recipe. They were not baking to my satisfaction so I took them out of oven and finished them in a skillet on the cook top with a little butter, they were great. Will make again.

Super easy and delicious! Don't be afraid to double EVOO, garlic, etc for a larger quantity of sweet potatoes. I also added about 10 minutes to the baking time!

I didn't change a thing! We thought it was delicious!

Yikes, these were so good. Way to go Granny! Seriously, my family and I have always disliked sweet potatoes since everyone does the brown sugar, marshmallow thing and we don't love sweet stuff. I've done a few recipes with some spices (Cayenne etc) but these were so easy and quick! I think the Balsamic put me over the edge. Soooo delicious!

Easy & delicious!

Delicious! Savory Sweet. I used fresh cubed sweet potatoes from the produce section making quick work time.

I made it using the exact ingredients but changed how I cooked it. Since I only have one oven, I couldn't figure out how I could bake a turkey at 325 and roast sweet potatoes at 425. So I roasted them the day before when I was baking pies. I baked them only 20 minutes, allowed them to cool, then put them in a covered casserole dish. I put them in with the turkey about 1 hour before dinner. They were piping hot and cooked all the way through. I topped them with balsamic vinegar and they were wonderful.

Perfect as written!

A most excellent way to make sweet potatoes. Enjoyed by the whole family.

You need to thank your grandmother for me. This was exactly what I was looking for. I have had sweet potato casseroles in the past with the sugar and marshmallows, but as I was recently found diabetic, I wanted something else that wasn't too sweet. We used white sweet potatoes instead of the orange ones. They are a bit more mild in sweetness than the orange ones. Followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of perhaps adding a bit more vinegar, but these were well received. Will be adding this to my regular rotation. Thanks for sharing!

Very good! I didn't use the vinegar, I added a couple of bay leaves and rosemary (dried because I didn't had fresh, next time I will). It was very tasty and aromatic. I will make it again!

Yes, will definitely do again. Made no changes to the recipe.

Great recipe for a side dish! Paired it with a crispy garlic chicken breast recipe on this site and it was a perfect pairing. Used minced garlic and cut the onions & sweet potatoes in big chucks (don't skin them, that's where all the nutrients & flavor are!) and they took a little longer than stated & weren't as crispy as I imagined but still really good. My picky family

Excellent and healthy recipe. Don't peel the potatoes, or you miss the fiber and vitamins from the skins. You barely know the skins are there when eating. Next time I would try adding the garlic just the last few minutes because they burned cooking them the 30 minutes. So good having sweet potatoes without a lot of sugar and or butter. Line the pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

It was a really simple, yummy side dish. I forgot to turn them so some of them burnt on the bottom but other than that they were quick and tasty.

This makes a great side for steaks or most anything. I followed the directions exactly and it turned out perfectly.

I've been trying to find better ways to eat sweet potatoes than covered in brown sugar and butter and this is absolutely the best dish I've had yet! The kick from the balsamic sealed the deal. This is getting repeated verrry soon.

I ALWAYS MAKE A RECIPE AS IT IS THEN MAKE CHANGES THE SECOND TIME. IT DOES NOT NEED ANY CHANGES.

This was so good! I accidental put the vinegar in with the olive oil.

Great and easy recipe. I put some extra onions in it and used a garlic press for the garlic.

We love this simple recipe. I don't even bother peeling the potatoes.

This was absolutely wonderful and a nice departure from sweet, sweet potatoes. The only difference that I made was (in a similar recipe) add Amaretto before baking. I probably did 1/8 cup; just enough to coat.

I didn't have balsamic vinegar so I used half as much white distilled vinegar. (I was nervous, but it would probably have been fine with the full amount). These were great, a savory sweet potato recipe that is making a believer out of this sweet tooth.

Will definitely make it again the wife loved them. I added minced dill pickle, and instead of balsamic, I used Worcestershire sauce and red wine vinegar and added about a teaspoon of red chili flakes. Sounds weird but they were amazing! We can’t wait to make them again.

Very good, easy recipe. My family enjoyed!

Turned sweet potato haters into sweet potato lovers! Had them going back for seconds!!! I didn’t use the balsamic vinegar but only because it was for a church Thanksgiving dinner and I wasn’t sure about everyone’s preferences so I left it out. But it was phenomenal with out it! Next time I’ll leave the skins on and try to brown them a bit longer, but that’s my own experiment. I loved them just the way they were!

The sweet potatoes were delicious! Like another person I really appreciated "no marshmallows"!

These are delicious! My new go-to sweet potato dish!! Thank you!

Really good, didn’t use balsamic, used 4 sweet potatoes half onion a bunch of garlic. Leave garlic big so it doesn’t burn. Do full time in oven. Next time try in casserole dish to see if easier to mix

I added halved fresh white mushrooms because I had a hankering for mushrooms and salted the mix before putting it all in the oven instead of after. No basalmic vinegar. It's the whole family's favorite way to have sweet potatoes, now. The kids were picking out the last of the sweet potatoes before anyone else could eat them, so that's a good sign.

Really good - definitely a keeper!!

Can't go wrong with sweet taters. I only had yellow onions so I used that in stead of sweet. Had all the ingredients on hand and would make this again. Only issue I had was some of the onions were burnt.

This was great! Very easy. It did take about 15 minutes longer to cook but I had about 6 cups of sweet potato so that could be why. We started eating it without the balsamic vinegar and it was so good we didn't even bother with adding it.

Very good. I did what someone suggested and smashed the garlic. I cooked this in the air fryer because I was short on time. I bet it will be even better in the over.

Excellent. Added twice the amount of balsamic vinegar as we like the taste.

Delicious! and Easy!

Absolutely amazing. I didn't have any balsamic vinegar but will try it in the near future.

One of my favorite Sweet Potato recipes. I added the balsamic before cooking it (just because I didn't read the recipe correctly) but it still came out great. I love sweet potatoes without all the extra sweetness and this was really good.

Excellent, low calorie and delicious!

I make this all the time now! Delicious!

It's amazing how good this simple dish was! I prefer savory sweet potatoes over the sugary kind any day. I'd like to experiment with herbs in this recipe.

Everyone really enjoyed this dish. It was very simple and quick to make.

Forgot to add the balsamic vinegar, but still very good. quick and easy.

These were delicious! I made just as stated, roasted a bit longer as I had more sweet potatoes in the pan. I loved the way it tasted out of the oven, so I didn't bother with the balsamic. I will make this frequently, it is so easy to prepare!

This was really good. Tender and moist without all the marshmallows. I didn't have any balsamic vinegar, so just went with the kosher salt. It was very good without the vinegar. It also smelled really good while it was baking in the oven.

Finally! This is the first recipe I've tried on sweet potatoes that is delicious without added sweetners. Not sure if it's the addition of sweet onion or the balsamic but this works, this is my new go to!

Forgot to drizzle the balsamic vinegar on it, but it was still delicious! And easy, my favorite kind of recipe.

Simple and delicious!! Lovely flavor combinations and so easy to put together.

Adjusted the recipe to serve 12 for Thanksgiving. Other than the peel on and the salt and pepper off, I made the recipe as written. It was a hit, several people commented that they'd never had a savory sweet potato dish before and would try it at home. One of my in-laws thanked me for not serving it sweet with brown sugar, etc. Thank you, CATICALIC!

So excited to find a great recipe that doesn't involve marshmallows ?? we love this side and make it just as the recipe states. Delicious!

Very good, very simple recipe that I will make many times more. The balsamic vinegar adds a nice touch. I cooked these along with some pork chops and they were both done at the same time. Great meal!

Overall, recipe is OK and I made it as written. I think this dish could use more balsamic vinegar to make it pop. I was really looking for a hint of it. It took longer to cook the potatoes than recipe indicated and the end result didn't taste anything other than roasted sweet potato. For us, the addition of the balsamic was useless. I rare it a 2 and my husband rates it a 3.

I tried this recipe with fresh garden potatoes and it was delicious

I particularly liked the splash of balsamic.

I loved this, my husband loved this, and everyone who has tried it thinks I am a terrific cook. What more need be said?

Thank you for this amazing recipe! I love sweet potatoes and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare them.

So easy and absolutely delicious!!

It’s delish. The balsamic was a wonderful addition I was surprised but decided to add it and it was so good. Thank you for this recipe!

Would make it again readily.

Delicious! I have to admit, I didn't have Balsamic and considered making a mixture with a similar vinegar/sugar combo, but decided to just leave it out. Not sure what I am missing from the original, but it really had a great flavour even without. One thing I will say is that I am going to use a little less onion and a little less oil. I may also broil it to try to crisp it up a bit. Just my own little tweak, but the original recipe was great.

I would definitely make this again. I was a little nervous that the Balsamic vinegar would be overpowering, but it wasn't at all. Great recipe. Thank you.

I made this with oriental sweet potatoes - I think they taste roughly the same. Just white in color. I also used red onion because that is what I had on hand. So yummy! Had to go back for seconds. Thanks for sharing.

This dish is a new Family favorite. I prepared it just like the recipe except I probably added a little extra balsamic vinegar (I didn't measure) and I added some dried basil. I threw it all in the Instant Pot and 20 min later it was done. Absolutely Delish!!

Perfect my vegan daughter was able to eat it and my husband and I enjoyed it also. Followed recipe exactly.

Blah flavor and the cooking time was off. Won’t make again.

Very very yummy!! The onions gave the potatoes a very surprisingly delicious taste.

I love sweet potatoes but its hard to find good recipes that are not adding sweet ingredients. These are easy to make and excellent. My whole family enjoyed them.

this was a terrific alternative to just having mashed sweet potatoes. the sweet onion and balsamic vinegar make it absolutely delicious.

Perfect side dish for meal prep!

We loved it so much, I made it twice. The second time I added more garlic and a dash more salt to my taste. I'm not a salt lover, but a dash more did reveal more depth of flavors.

I thought the flavor was very good - especially with the addition of the balsamic vinegar. The vinegar gave the acidity that worked perfectly with the sweet, creamy potatoes. The only problem I had was that the potatoes never browned or carmelized.

This is delicious! We did add a chopped fuji apple.

Loved it!!! But the wife and I love our garden fresh garlic so we added a bit more. Sweet and savory, delicious
